inspired by a scene from David Weber's Honor Harrington novels.

How's that for an underside view of the tail? :)

Hi, Zenzmurfy Toni liked it, her comment on Toni's Table on the Bar "Treecat obviously having way too much fun.--Toni"

I was considering having the disc playfully thrown at the back of Honor's head, Not that he would be able to surprise her like that. :)

I opted for simplicity and the pure fun of seeing him toss a disc vs catching one( like a dog for example).

Treecat frisbee can get rough with several 'cats David discusses it in books, here is a Fan Fic that starts with the game: [link] The author is a 17 yer old girl, she writes a mean joke in Humor from time to time too.

But I agree simple is good and Nimitz (Laughs Brightly)loves playing practical jokes more likely throwing so Honor falls in the catch. Looks like Laughs Brightly is in for a tumble form one of honor's throws. He looks like he's having fun. Lots of life and action in this one. Most art shows the 'cats just sitting on a shoulder. I agree with the other from the Bar that your work should be mandatory viewing for cover artists. Hope to see more. You might try a pin and ink such s may be published in the book, might give Toni an idea <G> :buymyprints:

Oh I think fingers are too short David has claws retracting into a sheath of the tip of the digit like switch blade knife. they are 10 mm long so digit tip is at lest 10 mm. To grasp minimum of three knuckles or three digit parts so finger are a minimum of 3 cm long. That's 1/20 of body length. This is the minimum I would guess they are about 6 cm and that's a 1/10 of body length. For further info try this [link] see question "What about those treecat toe nails?"

Just noticed your signature on the Frisbee. Cool!

Mange, "Poor runsforcelery (David Weber's site name) he'll have to edit all the Honor Harrington novels references to Frisbee and change to a zenzmury"

I envisioned something like beaver tail with groves both directions making squares to allow either tubing or grasping slick surfaces. Kind of like snow tire tread to improve grip. My mind image is a round til with grasping palm like the long tentacles of the Giant Squid. No text evidence for this text description is just fleshy. I think a lighter flesh tone might be better, although beaver tails are very dark nigh on black.

Need a smile here's my treecat Mange's comments on David Weber's forums, [link]

I finally got a look at a beaver's tail on google. It's not as easy as one might think. Most of the pictures are from top view even the gruesome pictures. It looks scaly than tread-like to me. I was thinking the tail would be of softer consistency. Maybe the tail works like a gecko's hands/feet? [link]
